He has to set the pace and work through this on his own. While it's not easy watching someone you have spent over 35 years with suffer, it has to be that way. I'm starting to see why that's so important. It dawned on me that just as with children, we have to let go so they can learn and find their own way. How else can they grow up and learn to deal with the problems and issues of life!
He is back at the other house for the most part. Since the first 2 nights after the crazy woman was incarcerated (I love to say that) he has stayed here only a few other times. He's been traveling for his work quite a bit so he's been out of town a lot lately.
As to whether he'll stay in the house until it sells? I am hoping that he does. I have encouraged him to do so. In my opinion he needs time alone to not only process the mess he got himself into but to heal as well. He calls a lot more often which is okay with me. If I'm busy or just don't want to talk I don't answer and will return his calls when I get time. Like you and many others here, I've gotten use to being alone and most of the time I enjoy it. I don't like my routine disrupted by unexpected knocks at the door! LOL
I gave him a key to the garage several months ago so he can drop things off and pick up tools as he needs without having to bother me or wait until I'm home. Other than that, I've gotten my patience shovel out and am watching behaviors for signs that his sanity has returned. HA!
